This time around playing with Raspberry Pi Pico I’ll cover controlling relays. This is not so much continuation of my PICO MIDI project, but rather continuation of my Hybrid Pedal project that I had started a long time ago ?. I covered a lot of things around Pico so have a look at the above […]

It’s time to finally drop the warm embrace of our USB tether and help our Pico MIDI become independent. In this post, for our Raspberry Pi Pico based MIDI pedal, we go through how to use external power. In my previous posts I covered how to send MIDI commands, how to support footswitch and LED, […]

PICO MIDI – Neopixel
In this post we continue working on Pico MIDI – a Raspberry Pi Pico based MIDI pedal, and this time I’ll be covering Neopixels and RGB LEDs. How fun! ? In my previous posts I covered how to send MIDI commands, how to support footswitch and LED, support external expression pedal and external footswitch pedal. […]

PICO MIDI – External Switches
Let’s continue working on Pico MIDI – a Raspberry Pi Pico based MIDI pedal. In my previous posts I covered how to send MIDI commands, how to support footswitch and LED and how to support external expression pedal. Today, let’s add support for external switches. I’ll demonstrate that with RC-500 Boss looper, but I also […]

PICO MIDI – Expression Pedal
Let’s continue working on Pico MIDI – a Raspberry Pi Pico based MIDI pedal. In my previous posts I covered how to send MIDI commands and how to support footswitch and LED. Today, I’ll use an expression pedal to control Digitech Whammy. In earlier posts I also used RC-500 Boss looper, so make sure you […]

PICO MIDI – Switch and LED
Let’s continue working on Pico MIDI a Raspberry Pi Pico based MIDI pedal. In my previous post I covered how to send MIDI commands. This was quite a long post, especially because it covered how to actually control two pedals. In that previous post I controlled Boss RC-500 looper and Digitech Whammy. It was a […]
I’ll call this pedal Pico MIDI because I’m using Raspberry Pi Pico for this. And it’s also of diminutive size ?. I recently posted a teaser, took me maybe a day or two to get that up and running from scratch without really knowing anything about MIDI. While I’d love to brag about this achievement, […]
As part of my Hybrid Pedal project in this step I’ll try out a few different display options. I got an application development board from Pimoroni crowd, and couple of LED matrices and LCD display breakout boards. If you want to keep an eye on the progress I’m making, be sure to subscribe to the […]
I started my Hybrid Pedal project. This is the very first step in the process: preparing my machine to do Raspberry Pi Pico programming in MicroPython. The original guides use mostly Linux and IDEs that I’m not familiar with. Since I am using Windows, I decided to prepare a short video on how to set […]
